Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) Director Mark Killian challenged Arizona agency directors and other state officials to showcase their cow milking prowess at a fun-filled event to support and raise funds for the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC). The United Dairymen of Arizona provided the cows for the event, while the Arizona Farm Bureau provided information to the public about dairies.

Participating directors included Mark Killian, Dept. of Agriculture; Charles Ryan, Corrections; Gregg Edgar, Lottery; Alberto Gutier, Governor's Office of Highway Safety; Wanell Costello, Exposition and State Fair; and Marie Isaacson, Megan Rose and Jessica Shuster, TEAM ADOA. TEAM ADOA won the competition with an average of 17 ounces, just eeking out Director Wanell Costello's 16 ounces.

The event raised $820 for Arizona's charities. Thanks to all who participated!
